For example 'Put a bit of salt in one's soup' = A + bit of (s)alt in (ones)* with soup being the anagrind = season
11:22 AM
To 'put a bit of salt in one's soup' is also to 'season'
11:22 AM
+91 78240 52227Shivesh
I was going for 'dealt with' meaning 'handled' and hence , felt it was an anagrind

Clue for the day : Clue the word 'ANAGRAM' using any anagrind of your choice. Max. 3 clues per person. Best clues will be chosen and winners will get to choose the next clue for the day Rules : Only anagram type clues. For reference : http://www.crosswordunclued.com/2008/09/anagram-indicators.html?m=1 Clues will be judged based on their validity, how kosher they are and avoiding unwanted linkers/padding words. Note : Indirect anagrams are not allowed. For example if I want to anagram 'meta', I cannot clue it as 'department demolished by group (4)' as it expects the solver to substitute department with meta and then anagram, which is two levels and not accepted. It must be something like "Aimless meta group (4)" to get team. Clues will be accepted till 10:59 PM IST, 4th March 2018. Use the #CFTD when you post a clue.

#CFTD Deranged ma rang about a mix-up (7) Nice surface. Clean, crisp clue. Nice anagrind with no extra words. #CFTD Out of tune raga man is this (7) Out of tune as an anagrind is accepted, for me. Although the surface doesn't make that much sense, nice approach. #CFTD Rearrangement confuses Agar, man! (7) Again, really nice clue with no extra letters. Straightforward anagram clue. The simplest clues that any solver loves and pounces on. Nice surface also (I assumed the cricket reference here, so a personal nice one !) #CFTD Travelling man circles city on new road to a wonder (7) Nice clue and brilliant Def by example (new road to a wonder, as in 'new road' is anagrammed to get 'a wonder' is the Def). Not completely an anagram clue, but nice clue nevertheless. #CFTD Order is restored: NaMo mostly conquers confused RaGa (7) Super surface, as expected. Good use of two anagrinds (restored, confused) and an extra containment indicator (conquers) in the build up for a better surface, I assume. Smart move, nanba #CFTD "Wordgame seen in Saarang perhaps lacks a bit of substance, man!" (7) Controversial clue, knowing how much you loved Saarang's word games (and participants). Nice clue and again, the tactic for building a clue around a word (Saarang in this case, I presume) without breaking any rules makes it an interesting one. #CFTD Order messed up: Naughty grandma gets a D out. (7) Nice clue, although 'Order messed up' would be a Def for Anagrammed and not anagram. So doesn't work. Slight tinkering of the clue should make it a nice one! Good try, anyway :) #CFTD Worried manager loses essential midfielders. Employs attackers at the top to sort it out (7) Superb clue! A very good example of setting the context for the surface and also maintaining the correctness of the clue throughout. Guides the solver exactly what to do with the words and the choice of Def is also good. #CFTD Ran a game, almost, for rearrangement clue type (7) The last minute answer you write when the invigilator is grabbing your paper after the bell rings. Good surface and I assumed it be this whole #CFTD. Thanks for participating everyone. Top 3 for the day are : #3 "Wordgame seen in Saarang perhaps lacks a bit of substance, man!" (7) #2 Order is restored: NaMo mostly conquers confused RaGa (7) Both by Aniruddh #1 is SriKrishna's Worried manager loses essential midfielders. Employs attackers at the top to sort it out (7) Special mentions to Vathsan's clue (Def by example) and Arpit's clue on Agar. Srikrisha will give the next #CFTD and happy clueing and solving everyone!

Definition is "it means a lot", with it pointing to the answer. Plethora = a lot This isn't how a def usually is though. The definition is a direct synonym. Here you can replace the answer for it. Basically is a first letter indicator. So basically to = t Building is an anagram indicator. To show that something is being built. Hence anagram of (t her opal) gives plethora.

Reminds me of one my old clues. Maroon fibre (6)
12:27 PM
Nice example da
12:27 PM
Sometimes there will be extended roots where , despite the words evolving from the same root, the prevalent usages are completely different. Like for example: Vulgar hue (4) For blue. Here both evolved from the same source , but the vulgar connotation is so far removed from the source that it passes for a new definition
12:34 PM

P from where? And how is darts an anagrind?
So, in western staff notation, there are different symbols for how loudly a note needs to be played. f for forte, p for piano (which is soft, or quietly). It slowly evolved to mean silence/silently as well. In strictly Ximenian terms, you can only substitute p for 'quietly' or 'silently' or 'softly' and not the adjective forms of these words. But it has come to be accepted these days. A lot of setters use silent or even silence. I feel the noun form is a bit more appropriate than the adjective form, but the adverb form is the most ideal.
9:15 AM
Turns out the italian words 'piano' and 'forte' are both adjectives as well as adverbs. So I guess the adjective form works in that sense. In the sheet music sense it's an instruction, so the adverb form is more appropriate

&lit, Literally So
Regular cryptic clues have two discrete components - the definition and the wordplay. &lit is an unusual clue type in which the definition...
www.crosswordunclued.com
An &lit clue is one where the definition is framed in the wordplay, i.e the whole clue is both the def and also the wordplay at the same time I'm a leader of Muslims (4) IMAM Cop in male form (9) POLICEMAN http://www.crosswordunclued.com/2008/08/and-literally-so.html A semi-&lit clue will have the whole clue as def but only a part of it as wordplay Slow-moving mice may get snapped up by them (4) OWLS http://www.crosswordunclued.com/2011/06/semi-andlit-clues.html

So the problem with this is - Thought it describes something about 'Wong' it isn't synonymous for Wong itself. Like you must somewhat be able to substitute the entire clue with 'Wong' and it still has to make sense.

I'd say so. But setters do take that liberty sometimes, depends on preference I guess. But if you're very strict about it being Ximenian, then no.

Yes. All of you are right. First, last, initial final etc aren't acceptable by Ximenian standards

Works yeah?
10:10 PM
AniJay Balls, Sr.
Fair enough. Crop in the sense of cut. But for RAs, you have to make sure of one thing. I'm sure @Srivathsan S will be able to explain better, but what is usually accepted is that the anagrind in the final answer should be such that it shows that the anagramming has already happened. For instance, cream of the cropped would mean that (cream of the) was cropped. But if the answer is (cream of the crop), then you want the solver to crop "cream of the". But since it's a reversal clue, that's slightly unfair.
10:13 PM
So you have to say that anagramming the letters in the answer phrase gives you the letters in the clue. You can't say anagram the letters of a phrase to get the letters in the clue.
10:15 PM
This is probably a very verbose and unclear way of putting it, but a good time of thumb is that in RAs, the anagrind should be the past tense of a verb, or an adjective, in most cases.
10:16 PM
+91 86818 73315Sujit Kaarthik
Yeah it makes sense. I remember seeing late cut as the answer for a reverse anagram clue, that's why I made this but yeah that was in past tense.
10:17 PM
AniJay Balls, Sr.
Yeah. That's the advantage with cut. It's the same both in the present and past tense.

Is this allowed? "To break" doesn't exactly indicate anagramming pm on site right?
1:24 PM
AniJay Balls, Sr.
According to me, it's fine. An anagrind can be an instruction to the solver, such as "break", "create" or "destroy". Or it can indicate what is happening to the word. Such as "breaking", "reforming" etc. IMO, "breaking" and "to break" are essentially the same instruction .
3:00 PM
@Srivathsan S?
3:01 PM
+91 98940 48545Srivathsan S
To break is fine. What would probably help make it even better is a linker that completes the suggestion. X to break giving Y X to break resulting in Y

(8) 2) Protestor to curse and participate (9) 3) Walked in, get present (9) 4) Beautiful lady on vacation, goes after sweetheart (6) Column B a) Wrong side goes in, rents and become locals (9) b) 5-0? Shout back and shoot! (6) c) Attempt without unknown weights and crushes (8) d) Communist to sell without a cut (9)
I'll close this. Column A Construe (Cons+true) Dissenter (diss+enter) Introduce ((Trod-d) -> induce) Love+ly (lady - ad) Column B Residents (side*->rents) Volley (v+o+rev(yell)) Trounces (try-y+ounces) Reduction (red+auction-a) The 4 words in column A have direct anagrams for 4 words in Column B. Gg solving.

Same game as yesterday There are 2 columns, each having 4 clues. All the clues in both columns have both wordplay AND def. Every solution in column A can uniquely be matched to a solution in Column B (by some logic that you're expected to figure out). To give the full answer, I'll need the solution of all 8 clues, as well as the key to matching the 2 columns correctly. PM answers. Column A Peacekeepers on grass? That's safe! (5) Sad kind of syndrome (4) I came inside, raced to shower! (4) Without hesitation, this furry animal to worry (4) Column B President of Denmark is unique. Deny? (6) Good for nothing doctor surrounded by bad counsel (9) So a brain is smashed? It leads to injury! (8) It's not the same, if iron rod initially fills hole (9)

Same game as yesterday There are 2 columns, each having 4 clues. All the clues in both columns have both wordplay AND def. Every solution in column A can uniquely be matched to a solution in Column B (by some logic that you're expected to figure out). To give the full answer, I'll need the solution of all 8 clues, as well as the key to matching the 2 columns correctly. PM answers. Column A Peacekeepers on grass? That's safe! (5) Sad kind of syndrome (4) I came inside, raced to shower! (4) Without hesitation, this furry animal to worry (4) Column B President of Denmark is unique. Deny? (6) Good for nothing doctor surrounded by bad counsel (9) So a brain is smashed? It leads to injury! (8) It's not the same, if iron rod initially fills hole (9)
Will close this with @+91 96778 67973 and @Shivesh Column A SOUND (un-->sod) DOWN (DD) RAIN (I-->RAN) FRET (ferret-er) Column B DISOWN (D+is+own) SCOUNDREL (dr-->counsel*) ABRASION (soabrain*) DIFFERENT (IFFER-->DENT) The words in column A when matched correctly are present in the same order in column B (pseudo joeys). Nice solves everyone :)

Almost same game as yesterday and day before There are 4 sets of clues. All clues have wordplay AND def. All 4 sets have a generic connect. The clues in each set have a more specific connect. This may sound a bit confusing, but I believe you'll get the idea once you solve a set. PM if you have doubts. PM answers. Set 1 Test car out and spread (7) Disheartened symbiotic bird gives dirty look (5) Set 2 Blush after Snape's first spell (5) Silently escorting and begging (8) Set 3 Young actress (no model) gets compliments at first, becomes red (7) Procede to loan (7) Set 4 Stupid! Without house, without support! (7) Pushing gamete in germination, for starters (6)

Closing this What is common across the 4 sets is that they each have a similar kind of word hidden in them. Set 1 Scatter (testcar*) Scowl (s~ymbioti~c+owl) CAT and COW are hidden in these words - types of animals. Set 2 Stint (S+tint) Pleading (P+leading) TIN and LEAD are hidden in these words - types of metals. Set 3 Scarlet ((starlet-t)<--C) Advance (DD) CAR and VAN are hidden in these words - types of vehicles. Set 4 Braless (brainless-in, without support being def) Egging (egg+in+g) ALE and GIN are hidden in these words - types of alcohol. Nice solving :)

for an anagram clue to be valid, the letters of the answer (known as the foddr) have to explicitly be present in the clue
4:36 PM
In this case, the letters (serendipt) aren't explicitly present in the clue.
4:37 PM
A substitution where leader=president is made. This is considered unfair to the solver, and hence isn't a valid clue.

Awkward president met a heartless Yogi by pure fortuity. (11) might be a valid clue.

Nice. Personally I think it's a tad indirect. A clue which was essentially of the form "VL person lacking talent" would probably have been more acceptable.

Urban Dictionary: xoxo
Hugs and kisses O=Hug X=Kiss If you look at each letter like it was representing two people from a bird's eye view, the "O" represents the arms of those persons hugging each other while the "X" is evocative of two people kissing each other.

+91 86818 73315Sujit Kaarthik
How is this any different
8:17 AM
+91 78240 52227Shivesh
Because with essentially you cue selection of more than 1 letter.
8:18 AM
With at first or primarily, it's just one letter from the alphabet.

+91 78240 52227Shivesh

Essentially could be one letter too no? I feel this is lighta indirect only

Imo only 'mostly' or 'headlessly' or clues that indicate almost all the letters in the substituted word would be fair
9:39 AM
Kaushik Samba
+91 78240 52227Shivesh
Because with essentially you cue selection of more than 1 letter.
I don't think this is a valid argument for two reasons. Firstly, it isn't exactly accurate - essentially can mean any number of central letters, even one. Moreover, it's indirect for the solver. Replacing a word and then picking letters from it (regardless of how many) is unfair to the solver.

Star spangled is technically not a banner right
9:48 AM
Star spangled banner means the banner has many stars
9:48 AM
Hmm, I was going for the fact that Star Spangled Banner is almost always associated with a single entity
10:12 AM
Rather than as an adjective
10:12 AM
But I get what you're saying, would "This banner" work or does that have the same issue
10:13 AM
Kuchu Gautham
I think this is fine. Maybe "This kind of banner" would be a little more appropriate
10:14 AM
+91 98940 48545Srivathsan S
'Such a banner' would help reinforce the adjective, in such a case.

Most ideal would be to clue the adjective itself. Other definitions depend on knowing something that's not in the clue (however popular it is), while this would be a synonym.

Would you not be fine with adjectival anagrinds being on either side of the fodder?
7:38 PM
Kuchu Gautham
'X is liquid' or 'liquid X' is fine no? I felt 'X liquid' doesn't give an instruction to anagram
7:41 PM
AniJay Balls, Sr.
It need not necessarily be an instruction no. It can be a description too.
7:42 PM
I agree it looks better if it's put before the fodder.
7:42 PM
But I was just wondering whether we do so for other adjective anagrinds too.
7:42 PM
For instance would you accept random as an anagrind after the fodder?

Only complaint - 'who's a' doesn't work as a linker for me. Equivalence using 'which' or 'that' is fine since that would refer to things like 'wordplay' and 'definition'. Who doesn't work in this case.
2:05 PM
Here the definition would be a 'who' but the the wordplay is still a 'what'

[17/10/2016, 22:02] Shreejaya: To+ sick~ I think they're homophones. Checked [17/10/2016, 22:04] AniJ: Toxic is pronounced tok sik Sick is pronounced sik Where does the middle k sound come from? [17/10/2016, 22:07] Shreejaya: Oh. Does it have to be a word on it's own? Didn't realize. Thought this was acceptable [17/10/2016, 22:08] AniJ: No. It doesn't necessarily. I'm asking where you get the pronunciation for xic from? Because shouldn't it be pronounced ksik? [17/10/2016, 22:13] Sibi Alum: To => Already there in the clue Xic => ~ sick Is what she is saying. But the problem is, we don't know how to pronounce Xic. Why is Xic ~ sick? [17/10/2016, 22:18] Vatsan Cruci: Agree with AJ on this. In the actual word there is a k sound that cannot be accounted for in the anno proposed. [17/10/2016, 22:20] Vatsan Cruci: Irrespective of how xic is pronounced, the word play only leads to some word that would sound like 'tosick'. Which is not homophonic to toxic.

This is something called elision. Where the setter purposely wants to mislead the solver by ignoring the space between two words. They're not strictly Ximenian, but often make clues more interesting. And as gautham said, in this case, it's not really unfair to the solver.

Valid observation.
10:05 PM
+91 89034 43034Muralli
Also just a part of the problem as Def also cryptically doesn't work no? Can't think of a sentence where it can be substituted for 'tip of the iceberg'
10:07 PM
+91 98940 48545Srivathsan S
You mean the 'Just' is extraneous? I agree.
10:09 PM
But in a usage sense, when you read the clue, it does seem justified as a definition
10:10 PM
Even though direct substitution may not possible in a sentence.
10:11 PM
+91 89034 43034Muralli
Yeah agreed
10:11 PM
+91 98940 48545Srivathsan S
That said substitution is still the no.1 check for validity of a definition
10:11 PM
Sometimes it can be relaxed as long as it comes across correctly considering other parameters

Fair enough. It might be a matter of personal preference, but I don't think " in California" points to a noun. "It's in california", or as you said, "Californian city", are better ways of putting it.

Cryptic grammar is a bit off here. 'Lacks ethics' translates to 'is immoral'. 'Lacking ethics' would've made more sense.

Personally, both. Sometimes I think there's a cute way to incorporate a bit of wordplay in a clue (eg - a non obvious anagram indicator, two parts of a charade that make sense together, words that are used in one context but mean something else). Other times I come across a word while reading/watching something else and try to think of a way to clue it (for example, the pervious clue - budget - I was looking at apps to manage expenses and thought it would be a nice word to clue)

In this clue is move a valid anagrind?
12:29 PM
AniJay Balls, Sr.
Fair point. It most likely isn't. You can look at it as (A, B) move or (AB) moves. Depending on how you see it, you can use either of the indicators to make sure the cryptic grammar is right. So far what I've mostly seen (and what I think is Ximenian) is to look at the words to be anagrammed as one single set. In which case 'moves'/'moving' would be the only correct indicators and 'move' would be wrong.

It is a little iffy but I wouldn't say it is wrong. To give/get is definitely more correct, but in the context of "I made bank" implying "I got rich" perhaps an argument can be made

The fact that it can be used as an anagrind also is just clever on the part of the setter. I think the setter is entitled to that level of misdirection
